Title: Lancet assembly and pricking device
Inventor: SEKI KAZUHARU
IPC: A61B5/151
Filed: 2007-06-05
Abstract: A piercing device in which it is possible to load an unused lancet assembly into an injector and it is not possible to load a used lancet assembly into the injector. In the piecing device, a cutout is formed in the end on the opening end side of a lancet holder and a plate spring member is fitted to the inner wall of a housing of the injector. One end of the plate spring member is fixed and the other end is free. A hook-shaped part is formed at a forward end region of the free end part. In loading of a used lancet assembly into the injector, the cutout is engaged with the hook-shaped part, rendering the loading impossible. On the other hand, in an unused lancet assembly, the lancet body is fixed in the lancet holder such that a projection of the lancet body is positioned behind the cutout of the lancet holder, and this results that, in loading of such an unused lancet assembly into the lancet holder, the projection pushes and expands the free end part outward to make the cutout not engageable with the hook-shaped part, rendering the loading possible.

Title: Iterative inversion of data from simultaneous geophysical sources
Inventor: KREBS JEROME R
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2007-09-11
Abstract: Method for reducing the time needed to perform geophysical inversion by using simultaneous encoded sources in the simulation steps of the inversion process. The geophysical survey data are prepared by encoding (3) a group of source gathers (1), using for each gather a different encoding signature selected from a set (2) of non- equivalent encoding signatures. Then, the encoded gathers are summed (4) by summing all traces corresponding to the same receiver from each gather, resulting in a simultaneous encoded gather. (Alternatively, the geophysical data are acquired from simultaneously encoded sources.) The simulation steps needed for inversion are then calculated using a particular assumed velocity (or other physical property) model (5) and simultaneously activated encoded sources using the same encoding scheme used on the measured data. The result is an updated physical properties model (6) that may be further updated (7) by additional iterations.
